Cook County Personal Injury Lawsuit Claims Toyota Park Concertgoer Got Hurt When R & B Singer Akon Dove into Crowd

A woman is seeking unspecified damages for her Cook County personal injuries. Holly Duncan says she got hurt last summer at the B96 Summer Bash that was held in Toyota Park when R & B singer Akon jumped into the crowd.

Duncan claims that his leap caused another concertgoer to fall backwards onto her and her sister. She says she became disfigured and disabled during the Bridgeview premises liability accident and that her injures prevented her from tending to daily duties and regular affairs. She says she will likely need medical and hospital care in the future.

Duncan is suing WBBM-FM Radio, Monterrey Security, Entertainment Group, Andell Sports, and the village of Bridgeview. She is accusing them of negligence for failing to prevent the conditions that caused her personal injuries to occur.

Cook County Premises Liability
Property owners, premise supervisors, and those in charge or affiliated with an event on the property can be held liable for personal injury even if they didn?t directly cause the accident. It is their responsibility to make sure that there are no conditions on the premise that could prove hazardous to patrons, guests, visitors, residents, customers, attendees, or others. If there are any defects or dangers on the property that cannot be removed or fixed, then it is their responsibility to warn others of their existence.
